Growing Bohemian Spartacus

Stake plants early, before stems reach knee height, using strong supports. These plants push well past four feet and carry heavy blooms. Pinch at six nodes to promote branching and more stems per plant. Water deeply and consistently; do not let the soil dry out once buds are forming. Cut early morning when flowers are two-thirds open for the longest life in arrangements.

Spacing: Space about 3 ft apart
Staking: Stake early — stems carry heavy blooms and lean in wind
